Another way to judge a state’s economy is to look at its Gross State Product and these statistics are kept by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. Between 2001-2005, the percent GSP increase for Massachusetts was an anemic 8.44%, one of the lowest five-years increases in the country – 44th out of 50 states.
Romney also raised taxes on business again in 2004 and 2005, for a grand total of $309 million levied upon the corporate sector. And he has the nerve to portray himself as a conservative candidate? His actions speak much louder than his words.
He then increased taxes on business property, tried to raise taxes on hotels (but was stopped by the Democrat legislature, joined a coalition lobbying congress to tax internet activity, and supported a tax on out of state commuters. Minnesota conservatives cannot allow this to happen.
Conservative Candidates North Carolina 2012

VOTE FOR Amendment One (Marriage Protection Amendment)
Governor: Paul WrightConservative, Tea Party Favorite
http://www.paulwrightforgovernor.com/issues2.html
U.S. Congress:
7th District:
Republicans and independents who choose to vote in the May 8 primary will see a stark contrast between polished, slick Pantano of Wilmington, a former Marine who covets the national stage and has latched on to illegal immigration as his wedge issue,
and Rouzer, a state senator from Johnston County who has less flash but more experience in actual governance. The third candidate, Randy Crow of Bladen County, is merely a distraction.
Who is more “conservative”? Who better aligns with Republican Party ideals? And who has the better chance of beating McIntyre in November? Those three points are what voters will consider as they head to the polls.
The StarNews Editorial Board will make no recommendation in this or any other primary race (although we will do so in the general election and on the ballot issue on same-sex unions), but we will comment on the horse races and the issues. The truth is, neither can be labeled liberal, although Pantano likes to paint Rouzer as a political insider who wants to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants and doesn’t deserve to call himself a conservative.

9th District:
Two Republicans running for Congress in the 9th District have waded into the debate over North Carolina’s marriage amendment – from opposite sides.
Edwin Peacock III unveiled a campaign video Tuesday calling the amendment “another unnecessary government hurdle that is bad for business.” He has underscored his opposition in a fundraising letter.
Meanwhile, Robert Pittenger promised to “continue to defend the sanctity of marriage” in his own online video:

Conservative Candidates West Virginia 2012
Conservatives in West Virginia will elect their candidates in the May 8, 2012 primary. Freshman Senator Joe Manchin is up for a first full term in 2012 and also up to serve the short period between November, 2012 and January, 2013. Due to the late Senator Robert Byrd's passing and the ensuing special election, two Senate elections will
actually be held on November 6, 2012.
U.S. Congress: Lee Bias (R) "Reagan" Conservative
Endorsed by:
Can Do Conservatives
Governor: Bill Maloney (R) Endorsed by Can Do Conservatives
From West Virginia State Code:
* “Section 3-10-3 states that for terms with more than two years and six months remaining, such as this one with Senator Byrd,
the Governor will appoint a replacement who serves the unexpired term until a successor has been elected.
“But that election will not be the 2010 General election. Part of this same section of code,
requires the candidate to have filed during the filing period. That filing period has already passed. There was a legal
case in 1994 decided by the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals that up held that position of requiring candidates to
file during the filing period.
“That means the election for the unexpired term would be the next election cycle which would take place in
2012. Candidates will be nominated in the primary and elected in the general of 2012.
“That brings up an interesting situation. Because Senator Byrd’s seat would have been up for re-election in
2012, both the position for the unexpired term and full term will be on the ballot at the same time but are separate races. In fact it will be two separate elections. With the unexpired race being a special election because it would otherwise not have been on the ballot.
“The winner of the unexpired term would serve out the final five weeks or so until the new term of Congress
starts in January of 2013. Had Senator Byrd’s term not run out in 2012 there would not have been this unique situation.
It would have just been for the unexpired term.

Conservative Candidates Michigan 2012
Michigan will elect their conservative candidates in the Michigan Primary August 7, 2012.
Things are looking up for conservative Republicans in Michigan in 2012. But to avoid a repeat of the policy disasters that caused voters to reject Republicans in 2006 and 2008, Republicans need to make sure that we nominate the right conservative candidates in Michigan.
We don't need ideologues who are enamored with Utopian ideas like fixing the world by invading other countries or destroying lending standards to win the Hispanic vote. We don't need hacks who call themselves conservative but vote for every big government boondoggle from the No Child Left Behind bill, to the prescription drug entitlement, to the TARP bailout.
Conservative Candidates Minnesota
Minnesota will elect their conservative candidates in the August 14, 2012 Minnesota Primary.
Then, of course, the following day his communications director blows it all away by describing his candidate as an Etch A Sketch candidate who you can just shake up after a primary and reset,” he said. “I thought he lost psychologically in terms of consolidating the party. It’s part of the problem Mitt Romney carries. People perennially wonder who is the real Mitt Romney.”
As candidate Mitt Romney continues his foray in this, his third attempt to win the Republican primary and portray himself as the “Conservative Candidate” there are a number of items that should weighted into any consideration when evaluating his expertise in leadership. Consider the following…
According to job creation experts Andrew Sum and Joseph McLaughlin of Northeastern University, manufacturing employment during the Romney years “declined by 14%, the third worse record in the country.”
The same scholars wrote that “from 2001 to 2006, Massachusetts ranked 49th in the nation in job creation…”
The Boston Globe business columnist Steve Baily wrote that “there are 40,000 fewer people in the workforce than when Romney took over.”
This view was echoed by the Boston Herald’s business columnist, Bret Arends, who wrote, “During the four years Mitt Romney was governor of Massachusetts, it had the second worst jobs record of any state in America…it wasn’t a regional issue. The rest of New England created nearly 200,000 jobs.”
Labor market economist Andrew Sum summarize: “as a strict labor market economist looking at the record, Massachusetts did very poorly during the Romney years…on every measure you’ve got, the state was a substantial under-performer.”
Nor did Romney fight the passage of higher rates on death taxes; indeed, his official position on a state bill was “no position.”
Moreover, Governor Romney supported gas tax hikes both for Massachusetts and for the federal government.
He also proposed a new excise tax on SUVs and a new sales tax on all used cars.
Indeed, Romney failed to reduce ANY of the myriad taxes Massachusetts imposes on its citizens, even though the previous two Republican governors, William Weld and Paul Cellucci, were both able to reduce tax rates.
As Governor Cellucci confirmed, Romney “did not have any broad-based tax cuts in his four years as Governor.”
Indeed, while Romney raised over a hundred different fees and taxes, the two previous Republican governors signed more than 40 tax reduction bills, even though Democrats controlled the legislature.
Mitt Romney introduced the nation to gay marriage (you can blame the courts in Massachusetts for the first step, but Romney did not adequately fight) and the predecessor to ObamaCare.
Conservative Candidates Nevada
Nevada will elect their conservative candidates in the June 12, 2012 Nevada Primary.
Nevada conservatives have been very active in the previous election cycle. But this is a state that has continuously sent Harry Reid back, and these perilous decisions with no regard for the rest of this nation nor for our constitutional government or for the sovereignty of our nation have proved irresponsible.
Nevada can do better. Elect conservative candidates, send those home to retirement who have misused and abused the public trust.
San Antonio court rules on the primary issue. March 1, 2012 it ruled the state will hold 2012 primaries May 29th. Run-offs will be held later.
